Roundtable: Locations/Dislocations – Border Crossings: An Erotic Affair?
Artists Sylvat Aziz, Meral Pasha (Ontario) live cross border from Mesma Belsare (Boston). In complex ways, they
interweave gender, sexuality and artistic practice as they confront how
dislocation, and their longing for relocation, is mapped on their bodies: for
Belsare it is the dynamics of gender in dance, for Aziz a cultural critique,
and for Pasha the complexities around gender displacement,
and cultural loss. The series Border
Crossings: An “Erotic” Affair? brought these artists as well as
academics, writers, and curators together this past academic year in
conversation at the St. George and Scarborough campuses of the University of
Toronto. This conversation will be extended and shared as a Roundtable with
presentations by Dina Georgis, Pailagi Pandya, Emily Kakouris and Sevan Injejikian
and moderated by Pam Patterson; the university community and general public are
invited to join the discussion.
April 10th at 12 noon -1.30pm in Room 2-225 at the Centre
for Women’s Studies in Education, OISE, 252 Bloor Street West, 2nd
floor (St George and Bloor).
Free and all are welcome
Tea and snack is provided. You are welcome to bring your
lunch.
